A hint on admin interactions.
Be nice to everyone. If you start an ahelp with "Fuck John Tider he killed me and my mother" is likely to get a less good response than "Yo, John Tider stunned me in maints by cargo and took my ID", or an even better "I slipped John Tider once and he's stunned me and lethaled me since"
The important thing I want to stress is emotions look bad in ahelps. take some time to calm down and write the best ahelp you can. I believe in you!
Most ahelps should have the following format:
<Bad thing I did> <Bad thing the other person did in response> <[optional] How I was punished by sec>

Re: A hint on admin interactions.
If you ask me "why did I die" and I tell you "it's a secret" it's because I'm not telling you which traitor killed you and if you start calling me mean names for not disclosing this information then I reserve the right to obliterate you

Re: A hint on admin interactions.
If you act like a baby someone might treat you like one.
You aren't entitled to anything, and we aren't entitled to you having a good attitude either. It doesn't excuse either side being jerks though.
You reap what you sow.
Being descriptive makes everyone's life easier, including YOURS.

Re: A hint on admin interactions.
I think players and admins can work on improving how they START an adminhelp. First message/reply can change the whole direction from being a friendly or hostile ticket

Whenever I talk to admins my goal is to have my a-help verb privileges revoked.

Re: A hint on admin interactions.
If your ahelp is a question about a game mechanic, don't just say "what does this do" I don't know what this does because it could be anything.
If you are having an issue with someone else's actions, just tell me what you're having an issue with. "Did you just see that???" No I'm probably fucking with View Variables, or tabbed out listening for ahelp pings.
I'm volunteering to help you guys out, you don't need to be shy, just be specific with what you want looked at or what you want to know.

Re: A hint on admin interactions.
I find it strange how admins handle me when I compare it to how they handle the most retarded fucked in the head cunts.
Should I just act even more fucking cooked in the skull? Will this produce a catch 22 and keep me in the army?

Re: A hint on admin interactions.
There really should be some sort of "Guide to writing ahelps" on the wiki. Some of the issues admins have with ahelps are just a result of the user not understanding how ahelps work.
The only current thing I could find was: https://tgstation13.org/wiki/Requesting_an_Admin

This is serviceable, but in my opinion, it should be more detailed. Even giving a few example ahelps would be a big improvement.Your ahelp should include as much detail (including the full names of anyone involved) as possible. The more information we have, the faster we can get to resolving your problem.
It keeps getting worse!?

Re: A hint on admin interactions.
I admin downstream and not here but every so often we get an ahelp which is just “why did that happen?” with literally no other context and it’s always s real head scratcher how they expect me to answer thatCheshify wrote: ↑Sat May 13, 2023 9:13 am If your ahelp is a question about a game mechanic, don't just say "what does this do" I don't know what this does because it could be anything.

Re: A hint on admin interactions.
I suggest admins to take lessons from customer service phonelines.
The person issuing the ahelp is the one that wants something out of you. If they give you shit information or shit attitude, you have carte blanche to deal with it taking as looooong as you want.
Take lessons from the DMV. They're paid to do it. We're not.
Believe it or not we want to help players. That's why we volunteer.

Re: A hint on admin interactions.
Of course. As a player you're not obligated to answer the admin's bwoink. It's treated as though you're disconnected, really. That is a really bad idea tho.chocolate_bickie wrote: ↑Sat May 13, 2023 1:39 pmDoes that mean if an admin asks me 'Why did you do that?' i'm free to ignore them until the end of the round?conrad wrote: ↑Sat May 13, 2023 12:58 pm I suggest admins to take lessons from customer service phonelines.
